River of Tears Songtext
von Kyrie Eleison

Sent away so suddenly,
Far away from your family,
Considering, so sadly,
That they might have not survived.

And the water storm brakes against you,
No one expected it to rise so high,
It was so calm and tame, even gentle,
But today... it′s woken up.

River of tears – the river of tears,
Drowning the hopes of the people,
River of tears – the river of tears,
The one that stole their lives away.

Just pain and misery
Is what you left over your path,
Ruins will show again
As the water goes away.


So much dismay and hate,
So much death and growing sadness,
You took away dreams
That you'll never bring back,
River of Tears.

You fear, you don′t trust,
You think that no one will understand,
Don't give up; soon aid will come.

Several days have gone by, the calmness returns,
A whole life to build it –an instant to lose it all,
Laments and prayers, waiting for something from heaven
...That never comes
...That never comes.

Just pain and misery
Is what you left over your path,
Ruins will show again
As the water goes away.

So much dismay and hate,
So much death and growing sadness,
You took away dreams
That you'll never bring back,
River of Tears.

You took away dreams
That you′ll never bring back.
